Report

Title of the Event: Quality testing of adulterants in general food items

Type of Event: Extension Activity: Testing Camp

Date: December 1, 2022  

Target Group: Class IX to XI students, Govt. Sr. Sec. School, Kalyanpura , Jaipur       

Name of the Activity Coordinators: Dr. Varsha Goyal, Dr. Priyanka Jain

Facilitators: P.G. Students, Department of Chemistry (List attached)

Objective of the Extension Activity: The main objective of the activity is to spread the awareness about various adulterants in food and to develop entrepreneurial skills among young students.

Summary:

An extension activity on “Quality testing of adulterants in general food items” was organized by Department of Chemistry, IIS (deemed to be University) on 1st Dec, 22 at Govt. Sr. Sec. School, Kalyanpura, Jaipur. In this activity our students acquainted the school students about different type of adulterants present in food items of daily use and their harmful effect on health. They demonstrated the presence of adulterants in food items by simple tests using easily available chemicals. For example, the presence of-

  • dye in red chilli powder, turmeric powder
  • water, starch, urea in milk and other dairy products
  • palm oil and dalda in desi ghee, presence of sugar in honey etc.

In this activity, 60 students from class IX to XI participated and all of them were enthusiastic about this experiential learning which involved learning by doing pedagogy. Moreover, the school students were highly curious to know more about adulteration in other food items also.

Outcome:

M.Sc. Students applied their practical knowledge of simple qualitative methods of testing. They  transformed their theoretical knowledge into practical demonstrations. School students also got benefited by knowing about definition of food adulteration, type of adulterants and their testing by simple methods. This activity evidently added to their knowledge, created awareness and motivated them to identify adulteration in food items of daily use.

“One Day Visit to IISU Innovation Hub, Kshipra Path Campus

Report

Event: Visit to IISU Innovation Hub

Date: 4th November 2022

Time: 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Venue: IISU Innovation Hub, Kshipra Path campus ,  Mansarovar, Jaipur

Title: One-Day Visit to IISU Innovation Hub

Target Group: PG students

No. of Participants:  Students (PG): 12

Objective: To gain scientific knowledge from the scientific models and give exposure of ‘learning by doing’  to the new generation.

The Department of Chemistry, IIS (deemed to be University), Jaipur organized a one-day visit to the IISU Innovation Hub, Kshipra Path Campus for PG students of the department on 4th November 2022. Prof. Y. K. Vijay welcomed the students and briefly introduced about the activities of the Innovation Hub, emphasizing its role in promoting quality education through hands-on scientific exploration. During the visit, Professor Vijay demonstrated a variety of scientific principles using models and experiments. Prof. Vijay explained objects on different scales ranging from cm to nanometres. He explained the Mechanical Transmission Line through a model of 20 identical oscillators mounted on a steel tape with equal spacing and also explained the formation of different interference patterns with mechanical waves. He demonstrated the Optical Microscope and showed the cubical structure of the NaCl crystal through it. Prof. Vijay also explained the atomic arrangement of the atom and defects through a model of 10000 steel balls of 1 mm size placed between two parallel sheets. Different thermodynamic phenomena such as the effect of temperature difference on the density of water, bouncing of LASER Beam from saline water, and Eddy Current experiment through the model was also demonstrated. The students also had the opportunity to conduct experiments and activities on their own, deepening their understanding of scientific concepts. In the end, Prof Vijay also explicated the journey of prominent  Indian scientists.

Outcome: The postgraduate students were able to gain a deeper understanding of scientific concepts through hands-on experimentation and activities. The students also had the chance to learn about the journeys of notable Indian scientists. Overall, the visit was a valuable learning experience for the students and helped to enhance their knowledge and appreciation of science.

3 Day Executive Development Programme on Material Characterization Techniques

Event: EDP at SAIF,  Manipal University Jaipur

Date: September 28-29, 2022

Participants: 7 PG Students, 2 Research Scholars and 1 Faculty

OBJECTIVE: The members of the department registered for this workshop to gain insight on working around high-end sophisticated instruments like SEM and XRD.

Sophisticated Analytical Instrumentation Facility at Manipal University Jaipur organized a 3 Day executive workshop on ‘Material Characterization Techniques’ where demonstration & hands-on training was given to the participants to enable them to understand the working of sophisticated instruments like Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Powder X-Ray Diffractor (XRD).

The 3 Day workshop had two sessions per day where in the first half, a detailed lecture was given on the assembly and working of high-end instruments like SEM, BET Analyser and XRD.

The participants learnt about the sample preparation, software technicalities and the post-scan analysis for each of the techniques mentioned above.

OUTCOME: The participants understood the handling of instruments and working of high-end techniques like SEM, XRD and BET that could aid in characterizing different materials efficiently.
